Hobbyist Science – Investigating LENR Parameters

This writer has developed an automated electrolytic system for control and data collection for exploring LENR parameters. As it is very expensive for the equipment to do advanced data logging and calorimetry, I have developed some methods of exploring variables that may induce and demonstrate the Anomalous Heat Effect with a minimum number of sensors.

The system is fully automated. It runs on an Android smartphone connected to an IOIO programmable controller. Two temperature sensors from Atlas Scientific are used. One measures the electrolytic cell temperature and the other measures ambient room temperature. I have conducted a series of experiments with the intent being not to induce AHE, but rather how AHE could be demonstrated through a repeated measures/run design that deconstructs individual components of the experiment and makes predictions about what should be seen if AHE is present.

I hope that those interested in LENR will find something of interest here, and there might be an idea or two that would be of interest to scientists in terms of automation. I want to thank Vortex listserve members for providing some ideas during the design of this project.

I want to approach this in as objective of a manner as possible, so if you see any flaws in the design or my reasoning, please tell me about it.

I can set the timing for oscillating for DC to AC, but am limited to approx 100 hz the way I have it set up. It is simply doing on/off switching for the AC/DC. I need to get an oscilloscope to see how fast the relays are responding.

The IOIO board has a PWM signal generator that will make 3.3VDC pulses up to 120Khz. That power level is not really sufficient, so something else is needed. It’s also not AC.

So if you put together the bipolar PWM system outlined in the link with the setup I have, you could alternate between DC and HFAC. The timing of switching between DC and AC is controlled by the app running on the phone.

The relay bank you see if the video can be used to turn on/off 8 different circuits up to 240VAC or VDC. The timing is controlled by the app.

The analog inputs accept voltages up to 3.3V, which can be used for a variety of sensor inputs. I’m using 3 inputs currently (current, ambient temperature, and cell temperature).

I need to watch these several more times, interesting is the live feed and the switching from AC to DC, is there a frequency change also available on each circuit? The android or will this simply turn the oscillators on and off.
For example the solid fuel rods also need the ionized hydrogen so by quickly providing DC current as to heat the wires, will need to be oscillated to AC on the DC off cycle for the high energy discharge at the spark plug using the same circuit path.

Again great work and that really helps to step up the process after the reactor is completed in it’s physical form.
